There are a number of resources already in place, what's the need for another one?
CPS First Class has many tech help resources, especially in the District-Wide Technology Coordinators Area.
But these are not visible to the University of Chicago NSP students.
For that matter, not all the Techcos (and computer lab teachers, and tech lead teachers) in the CUIP group have access.
We will ask permission to copy/link/repost/credit some of the great articles and screenshots in that repository.

There are any number of technical advice and documentation websites. / I can get most of my tech questions answered by a Google or similar general search.
Very good! Where there is need for general-context tech help, we can again link to (or with permission, copy) those resources.
The emphasis here is on the CPS environment, so many of our topics will not have discussion or help sites outside.
There are mailing lists and outside-maintained websites for CPS Techcos already.
We are eager to work together and share experiences and resources.
One factor for CUIP is making sure our University students can participate.
Mailing lists, web forums / discussion boards, and nings all have some very advantageous features. This CPS/CUIP Tech resource has ended up in a Wiki by advice of an initial survey of likely participants, and for the reason of encouraging wide participation in editing and creating resources -- for each other.
